oh...my....gosh.....i'm friggin in LOVE with vicki's hat movements!!!! its hilarious at 0:58 i thought i was gonna wet myself watching her lower lip pout and hat jerk forward!!! typical mama!!
ROFL!!! Those Mama's Family skits were terrific. I'm surprised the security guards didn't kick them all out though. I moonlight as a security guard at a hospital and one evening there was a family of blacks arguing and making a big racket like Mama, Eunice and Ed. We warned them to quieten down 3 times before finally making them leave. LOL I think those Mama's Family skits are a lot more like ordinary families than most people would like to admit....ha ha.
I agree Olaila. And if I didn't know better, I'd swear that Carol Burnett and Lily Tomlison (spelling?) were sisters. Some of the faces Carol makes make her look like Lily.
I remember seeing this as a kid and I was pretty young to fully understand the dynamic of the skit, but the line about Ed having his head in the toliet made me laugh because Mama said toliet on television and to a child that as balls out hysterical.
This clip makes me laugh so hard it's downright DANGEROUS! My ex-wife, kids and I have been saying "well then, just put it ASIDE!" (in our best "Mama" voice) for over twenty years...what a treat to see and hear it again. Carol Burnett and her entire ensemble absolutely Rock. Unquestionably. Thank you so much for these posts!
Lol look at Tommy's face when she says he needs a haircut...this is one of my favorite family sketches. I love the Carol Burnett Show and I love the Smothers Brothers. Fantastic!!!
Did you notice Mama acts MORE like she does on the later syndicated version of Mama's Family here? She's more lively and spunky here, she does NOT start becoming bitter and hateful until the later Family Sketches.
I'd say she's pretty bitter and hateful here. She gets mightily pissed off when Jack doesn't feel like playing the game she bought him and barks "you never did play with the erector set I gave you when you were ten!" Still angry about something so trivial that happened when Jack was a child? I'd say she's plenty bitter and hateful!
Ernie Anderson (the famous ABC announcer) played the doctor at the beginning.

Nice to see Tommy again. Did you know he's an expert w/ a yoyo? Saw him
on some kids' show. Sesame Street maybe.
The same plot was used when Betty White was gonna have a fanny tuck.
Mama recited the names of all the relatives who had died in the same
hospital.
I hope the actors and writers of these wonderful shows drop by now and
then and see how greatly appreciated they are.
Thanks 4 the hilarious post.

Thanks for the memories!

Eunice is spectacular.
It was supposed to be a one time skit but it became so popular that they did more. Thank goodness.
I love Eunice, Mama and Ellen. Eunice goes from cool and nice to scalding mad in seconds. Priceless.

At 3'20" you can see that Tommy has got his tongue in his cheek to avoid laughing when Eunice tells him about Ira's tongue.
